Abstract

L'invention concerne l'attribution d'une adresse IP d'informations de session à utiliser comme identificateur de station mobile permettant de simplifier une architecture distribuée destinée au traitement des communications IP de manière coordonnée avec un système de communication sans fil. L'adresse IP d'informations de session identifie un emplacement de stockage d'informations de session pour un terminal d'accès (AT) donné. Le terminal AT supporte de manière efficace un pointeur vers les informations de session, un point d'accès étant capable d'accéder aux informations de session de manière directe, contournant ainsi le besoin de stocker des informations d'acheminement pour chaque terminal AT et un emplacement associé d'informations de session. De plus, l'utilisation d'une adresse IP identifiant le support de session comme identificateur de station mobile permet d'éviter des retards entraînés par un tel acheminement. L'adresse IP d'informations de session peut être comprimée aux fins d'utilisation d'une valeur localement unique. La version comprimée conserve un espace binaire et permet de réduire la complexité du traitement relative au ré-emplacement vers le point d'accès suivant.
